Overall summary of your learning from religion unit (focus on 2-3 general understandings).
Why did you choose this topic? What different things did you learn while researching and creating the project?
How do you feel about the final product? What are its strengths and what are its weaknesses?
I learned the Islamic religion is very similar to Christianity. I had no idea what their beliefs were. All I could judge is what I've seen in the media, which is a blasphemy to that religion. I also learned most religions believed all people have souls. That's where I think religions connect: souls.
I choose the after life because it interesting to see what other perspectives there are where you go after you die. Some believe you're reborn, some believe you go to Heaven or Paradise. It all depends what you're exposed to. I learned the Bible is the most widely shown text on the Internet. Yes, there is the Quran, but it's not a easily user friendly as finding texts in the Bible. It made me realize the work people put into creating these type of brochure to convert people to their religions.
I feel like my final project is nice. It's simple and to the point, there's no other "filler." My purpose was to display a religions perspective is a straightforward way. I choose that because people nowadays don't have long attention spans.
